- It's like a crime scene in here!
(suspenseful music)
- Hey guys! How you doin'? Welcome to a rainy day
in the Holderness House, which is a perfect day for...
- Birds!
- Well we do have a bird stuck in our house right now.
- We have a bird stuck in our living room right now.
It's hiding behind a curtain.
- [Kim] We're gonna make DIY, glow in the dark,
bouncy balls!
- Time for 'Nailed It'.
- Yeah.
- Great, it's supposed to take less than 30 minutes,
it says ages 7 to 16... I'm 43.
- It works, yeah.
- But works I'm, yeah.
- So it looks kinda like the same thing as making slime,
and then using a black light, and I have brought my slime
expert out, her name is Lola.
Here's what we need. Some white glue,
some cornstarch! Some fluorescent paint,
also needed; plastic cups!
A craft stick!
- [Kim] We don't have those so we're going
to use old pencils.
- Old pencils!
Measuring spoons, a black light, or a UV light.
- You bought this..
- [Kim] I did.
- This looks expensive.
- [Kim] I know.
- Borax powder, plastic zip bag, and warm water.
Great, so let's get going!
Get a 12 to 1 ratio, borax to water
- Hm?
- So we need a measuring spoon.
Is that one half cup or one and a half?
- One and a half.
- That's one and a half cups?
So I'm going to do one and a half of this.
- [Kim] Okay.
- One.
- Can I mix it?
- And a half.
- One tablespoon of glue, I hate glue.
Ugh, gross. I hate glue.
If I see glue, slimy glue... I hate glue.
(fake gags)
Do you like that? Okay I'll do more of this.
- Holographic!
- Alright, close enough.
I think I can eyeball a teaspoon of glue.
Tablespoon of cornstarch
- [Kim] Are you measuring the glue? Okay.
- Okay, the borax is not dissolving.
It's clumping up at the bottom look...
- [Penn] Just give it a sec. It'll be fine.
- [Kim] Use some elbow grease.
- I don't have grease on my elbows.
- [Penn] This one's working a little bit better.
Here, I'll trade with you, I hate glue.
Oh gross. I hate glue, I hate glue.
(fake gags)
(acoustic guitar)
(cash register opening)
- So borax is not supposed to do that.
Perfect thank you.
Borax is important.
You're using too much borax!
Okay, let's move on. Then Charles decided to join us.
- I'm trying to get in and you're not letting me!
- Then it's two tablespoons of this...
- One...
- Oh!
- [Kim] Uh oh!
- Two.
- Pours out really fast.
- I'm stirring this for about a minute, as you'll stir,
you'll see a sticky, slimy material
start to form around your craft stick!
(sing songy voice) I'm doing it right!
- [Penn] Don't touch it yet.
So at the bottom of it, it's still kinda juicy
but I think that's okay because now
we're going to do the messy part.
So we're going to take these, and put them here.
Pull it off the craft stick, or the pencil.
And knead it with your hands.
It doesn't say take your wedding ring off,
but I'm gonna do that.
If your slime is really sticky, dip it into the
borax solution, and it'll get smoother.
- [Kim] Okay, and you combine the two. They combined the two
So you can do half and half.
- No, I got it.
- Okay. Once you work your slime in your hands for a few
minutes, it should start to dry and harden.
Roll your slime up into a ball.
- Oh!
- Uh, uh my hands are sticky!
(chuckles)
- See my slime has... you are elbowing, you are all elbows.
- [Kim] Yeah girl!
- You are all elbows.
- [Kim] Get those elbows up!
- Our two slime colors are not getting along. Uh-oh.
- [Kim] It says you can do that!
- It's kinda...
- It's a rip.
- Yeah, its getting kinda flaky.
This is... you may wanna... okay we don't have much time.
These balls are...
- Hard.
- Not balls.
- [Kim] What do we do with the black light?
- Okay.
- So, to get more colors, try making several slime balls
with different colors of paints. We did that.
Oh see look, this isn't a bad ball.
It's got a little bit of... a butt.
It looks like a nice ball until you flip it over here
and it looks terrible.
Keep in mind your slime balls will keep hardening as
they dry out. You can store them in an air-tight bag
to save them!
Which means, the harder this gets, the higher it's going
to bounce.
Keep rollin'.
There's a school lesson here too!
We're using a black light because black lights are able
to express fluorescent light.
They're able to show fluorescent light and
we think that there's fluorescent light in these balls
and in this paint, but we're not really sure.
Um, and so we're going to turn the black light on
and we're going to see if it works.
- [Kim] Let's do it!
So here, I have the blacklight setup in the bath
- [Penn] Whoa!
- [Lola] The neon is the thing that actually went,
like the actual glow in the dark is supposed to be.
(Lola gasps) Look at my shirt!
(Kim laughs)
- [Penn] And your teeth!
- [Kim] Look at your teeth!
(Lola chuckles)
- [Lola] It's like a crime scene in here!
(Kim and Lola scream)
- [Lola] 1, 2, 3...
- [Penn] Bounce test! Not really.
Daddy's bounce test. 1, 2, 3.
Oh even worse.
- So, glow in the light? Check. Crazy teeth and hair?
Check.
Bounce?
- X
(incorrect buzz)
- I think these DIY balls are definitely balls.
They are 100% balls. They don't bounce.
- (Altogether) Thanks for watching Nailed It!
(balls thud on ground)
